As with you and your captive family in occupied Iran, I too abhor violence. The young man executed was accused of violence, and the "confession" obtained under torture. It is indeed the inherent "violent" nature of I.R. that is a blight on the Iranian nation. This nature was manifested, in words and deeds, from the very day that this minority assumed control over the destiny of Iran. As a member of Iranian diaspora, my deep conviction is that decisions regarding the removal of this national & spiritual abomination from Iran and its future political orientation are primarily in the hands of Iranians who have lived and continue to reside in occupied Iran. Per your stated personal family sketch, you should be well familiar with Bahareh Hedayati who addressed the issue of violence in context of revolution in her letter from Evin. She is not alone in declaring that there remains no possibility of reforming the abomination, and as you must know, she is merely one out of thousands of the best of Iranians who are now held, illegally, in dungeons of the occupying regime of the so-called Islamic Republic. If you wish to discuss the mechanics of revolution and what is or is not acceptable, it would be best to direct your thoughts to those quarters. As it is, your comment in HN casting shade using "violence" seems 'misplaced'.
